DEATH OF PEYroN 8. CoLHs.-Peytou
Skipwith Coles, Past Grand Master Of
Masons in Virginia, Past Grand High
Priest, and Past Grand Commander of
Knights Templar, and one of the most
prominent Masons in the United States,
died at his home, in Albemarle county,
about thirteen miles from Charlottesville,
Saturday evening at s o'clock, after an ill
ness of about month.
The deceased was born in the house
which he had occupied all his life, and was
about sixty-6ve years of age He was edu-
Gated at William and Mary College and at
the University of Virginia. Joining the
Masonic fraternity early in life he had de-
voted more time to the interests Of the in
stitution than perhaps any man of the
present day.
He laid the cornerstone of the Yorktown
monument clothed in the regalia made BY
the wife Of Lafayette and worn by George
Washington when the stFather of his Coun-
try" as worshipful master laid the corner
stone of the Capitol at Washington. For
several years Mr.. Coles had held the DO
sition of Grand Lecturer, and that position
he was filling at the time of his death. He
had visited, it is said. every lodge in Vir-
ginia, and the majority of them frequently.
He always met with q fraternal Welcome
The deceased leaves wife and ten chill
dren-nine sons and one daughter. His
son, Rev. Robert Coles, is in Europe.
MIR. Coles had two insurance policies Of
$40, 900 each in the Mutual Life of New
York, Mr.. Howard Svineford, agent. They
were twenty-year endowment policies and
had been running seventeen years. In
three years more Mr.. Coles would have
been entitled to $50, 900. He also had two
policies of SIC, 900 each with the Equitable
Life Assurance Society, Montague & Co,
agents.

Again:
Furthermore, it should be remembered
that John Sherman has first proprietary
rights in the bloody-shirt or bloody flag
patent, and whatever can be made ont of it
for next years campaign very properly be-
longs to him."
The Globe is right. There is only one
real general of the bloody-shirt brigade
His name is john Sherman, and Murat
Halstead is his fiag-bearer. If the small
fry will prize themselves out of the mud
and secure seats on the fence, however,
they can count upon fun when John makes
his great advance that will compensate
them for their bruises and spoiled regi-
mentals. Their tumble is nothing com.
pared with the overseeing that is in store
for Ohio's ''favorite son. We promise
them it will be better than a circus and
more instructive than the most highly
moral show that ever took the road.-Rich.

A Dsgreeyfor Gen. g. W. G. Lee.

The first honorary degree ever given by
Tulane University, Louisiana-that of Doc
tor of Laws-has been conferred upon Gen.
g. W. c. Lee, president of Washington and
Lee University.
This honor could not have been conferred
upon any who is more worthy of it. The
comforting of honorary degrees has become
with many Institutions too common, but
this is not an instance of that kind, for the
recipient in this case is IN every way worthy
of it.
In announcing the comforting of this de-
gree, Col. VIM. Preston Johnston, Presi-
dent of Tuland University spoke of Gener-
al Lee as an exemplar for the young men
of the South. As student at West Point
he took first honors; as soldier of the old
army he won high reputation; as general
Of the Confederacy he distinguished him
self; as a professor in the Virginia Military
Institute he performed the laborious duties
of professor of engineering with great
credit. For the past seventeen years, as
president of Washington and Lee Universi-
ty, he had conducted one of the first insti-
buttons of the country as worthy success
sor of his father. In concluding his re-
marks Colonel Johnston said: fulfilling
every duty as citizen, soldier, and Christian
gentleman, his life model for the youth
of the country, we feel that there should be
conferred upon him the first honorary de-
gree conferred by Tulane University upon
anybody"

STORMS IN RoCKINGHAM.-On Monday
evening of last week several parts of Rock.
ingham county were visited by severe
storm. The Register says that at the farm
of Emanuel Cromer, near Dayton, "the wind
blew a regular tornado gale for some ter
minutes. His barn was blown down, his
apple-orchard greatly damaged, and the
fences, together with the growing wheat
and corn fields, were leveled to the ground.
Nine persons and several horses we're in
Mr.. Cromer's barn.. but fortunately none OF
the persons and only one of the animals
sustained any damage. We ale informed
that two horses were blown out of the
stable which was in the barn, and one OF
them badly hurt. AS TO the probabl
amount of the damage sustained by Mr..
Cromer, we have not been informed. For
tunatey the track Of the storm was narrow
and limited, covering about of mile, and
the serious damage thus confined to a small
area"
On the same evening, says the Register;
there was another violent wind-storm about
two and one half miles east of Harrison
burg, which wrecked Mr., Rutherford's barn
on the McGaheysyille pike, near Mr.. John
Leedy's. There was much damage also
done to fencing and crops Of every kind.

some time, lately removed to New Jersey
A few days since he forwarded deed to be
recorded conveying ten and three-quartel
acres of the land for the consideration Of
$14S, 0O0, OF about $53, 900 per acre. Such
a document excited curiosity and enquiry.
The paper has been carefully examined,
and there is no mistake in the quantity OF
land and the amount paid for it. The land
is poor and the buildings indifferent.
A letter has been received in Petersburg
from member of Mr.. Abbott's family

known, meanwhile the matter epgrosses
much attention and gives rise to many con-

Queen VictOria's Jubilee.

On Tuesday of last week, the people OF
England celebrated with great pomp Queen
Victoria's Jubilee in honor of the 50th an
niversary of her reign. 1t was probably
the grandest pageant the world ever wit
messed. 1t was as much or more in honor
of her virtuous character as woman, as
of that of the wise sovereign, for, as the
Leesburg Washingtonian says, "she has
the hearts of her people, and, for her wo-
manly virtues, her pure christian life and
character, she has won the admiration of
the civilized world. Under her reign, Eng
land has achieved wonderful results in the
extension of her colonies, and has given to
them the blessings of good government and
christian civilization. She has been fore
most in aiding and promoting any cause
looking to the advancement of the arts and
science and the improvement and anchor
alton of the condition of mankind.
Four Sovereigns of the British Empire
have been favored with jubilees, celebrat-
ing the fifty years of their reign-a long
time to rule and administer the affairs OF
great empire. The historians tell us that
those thus favored with long reigns were
Henry Ill, Edward I'LL, and George Ill,
the grandfather of her who sits on Eng
lands throne to-day. The reign of Henry
Ill, whose jubilee was celebrated in 1865,
was one of great progress, and called for
the rejoicings that attended it. During his
life, trial by jury was first introduced, and
the first real English Parliament was called
together. The next jubilee came in 1876,
when Edward III, entered upon the fiftieth
year of his reign, and his historians tell Of
gay pageants and great rejoicings. During
that reign, two great constitutional princi
pies were recognized, viz, that money could
not be raised without the authority of Par.
lament, and that the law could not be al
tered save with the concurrence of the
Lords and Commons, principles that lie al
the very root of that constitutional liberty
which the United Kingdom enjoys to-day
/ Five centuries passed away, and then,
in 1899, occurred the celebration of the fif
tieth year of the reign of George III. And
now, as DR.. Dix, of New York, in ser
mon, on Sunday week, said, awe celebrate
the fourth jubilee in the history of the
British people, the jubilee of her Majesty
Queen Victoria, of whom, in the words o.
Solomon, we may truly say, Many daugh
} tiers have done virtuously, but thou excelles
!, them ALL" For whether you look upor
her as a woman or as Queen, her life hal
, been one that will be spoken of with affec
J ton and respect to the end of time.

The Confederate flag blunder was a bad
one, having turned ont to be without war
